Custom Driver : Intel GMA 4500 M / MHD Extreme Plus 2 - by nIGHmAYOR

Welcome
Of course a big thanks to nIGHTmAYOR for these drivers - they are great and work wonderfully.
I am using Windows 7.
There is only a problem with firefox. Chromium based browsers have video acceleration, for example, you can watch fhd video on YT on such old hardware. You can see this perfectly in GPU-Z. Firefox, on the other hand, does not use acceleration at all. This is what I found in about:support

Code:

Blocked for your graphics driver version mismatch between registry and DLL.
BLOCKLIST_FEATURE_FAILURE_MISMATCHED_VERSION
Mismatched driver versions between the registry 20.20.7.6464 and DLL(s) 8.15.10.2869, reported.

I tried various tricks found on the net with firefox falg, but nothing works. I would like to use firefox, first of all not to support google :)
Any idea how to mod the modded drivers? Registry editing, dll file editing?
I've read the forum threads and found no clue.

Please support in Intel b960 pentium. Thanks!

Thanks OP!

Easy, just change stuff in the registry.

- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\VIDEO
- Check the \Device\Video0 value, it should point to the driver entry stuff at \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\<some GUID>\0000
- Go to that key
- In that key, look at the DriverVersion value. It's probably 20.20.7.6464. Change it to 8.15.10.2869
- Restart Firefox, it now stops complaining.

Hi
The two link on the first post seems to be dead ... Can you update this links please ?
Thanks

It currently works on windows 11, you just have to install it manually after running the 2nd script

God bless your soul sir, your software saved me with customers today.
This old machine i have ran smoothly enough to render a design on the nick of time, it would've been impossible with the stock driver. It would've crashed.
